Kate has navigated through so much during her time as CEO of @BarkervilleBC. Going to miss sharing the time, her leadership, & the "jellyfish noodles", but wishing her well on the next chapter. Well done & thank you! @gthielmann @ccmuseumbc @sarahwyling

Some good ideas to consider here. Love the idea of developing responsiveness to student difference (arguably the “it” factor in teaching), rather then planning for differentiated tasks based on assumed or designated abilities.

“[The] disconnect between graduation rates and educational quality suggests that the province’s education system may be prioritizing graduation over mastery of essential knowledge.” https://t.co/1ZAcIN9UXK We know this, and yet it remains a wicked problem. What next?

“Guatemalan democracy remains hostage to the “pact of the corrupt”…Over the last few years, this scheme between public and private actors has been waging two wars in Guatemala; a low-intense war against democracy and a total war against Indigenous peoples” https://t.co/w9jSG1thVL

Is this a joke? Or a stoned-tweet? If not, thank-you Mr. Emery, for the great example I can use when making the case for prioritizing anti-racism education for student teachers.
The @liberal_party of Canada governs with 160 Members of Parliament: 10 are Chinese; 15 are Sikh 12 are Muslim 4 more are from India not Sikh 6 Jews 1 Argentine That’s 48 MPs with questionable loyalty to Canada in the Liberal government.
